So Despite The Spin Godfrey Bloom sits close to UKIP! Both as a member and in Nigel Farage's clique in the EU parliament! .

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,

it is interesting to note the facts that are being deliberately obfuscated and it seems lied about by certain areas of UKIP!

It is also worthy of note that Godfrey Bloom is still also listed as a member
of the Pan EU Political Group which Marine Le Pen of the extremist French
Nationalist Party Front National and Philip Claes of the even more extreme
Vlams Belang of Belgium are executive VPs having been the group’s founding
President – Points brought up to date in Wiki subsequent to the mythical withdrawal
of the non existent ‘whip’ by UKIP!

Do
be minded that in the EU what passes for a parliament forbids the practice of
whipping party or group members.

Ukip is losing its “radical” edge under Nigel Farage’s leadership and risks “morphing” into the same as the big three parties, former Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom has warned.“There is now a huge force in the party
to be a Conservative Party which isn’t in the European Union. If we
suddenly start morphing into what the others are like, only with an
out-of-Europe policy, it won’t work,” he told the Huffington Post UK.

Bloom warned that the only Ukip policy
voters are aware of is their aim to withdraw from the European Union,
adding: “anything else on top of that is really a bit outside the
mainstream”.He said the Tory drift came from
political defectors who have “brought that baggage”, adding that
“radical, libertarian” thinking “no longer reflects the mainstream [of
Ukip]“.The controversial MEP now sits as an
Independent for Yorkshire and Humber after a furore at UKIP’s conference
when he jokingly called a room full of women “sluts” and hit the Channel 4 journalist Michael Crick over the head with a conference programme. “If you live in Notting Hill and eat
brown rice and read the Guardian, it’s your job to be outraged at any
UKIP representative in the same way it’s my job to bait them because
they’re all so very silly,” he quipped.The MEP spoke to the Huffington Post UK
to mark the publication of his autobiography “A Guinea A Minute”. He
revealed that he tried to resign from Ukip a year ago due to
“fundamental differences” with Nigel Farage
but was dissuaded by his local committee. “We had been drifting apart
for two years on matters of how the party should be run and on policy.”
he added.Bloom suggested the Ukip leadership
stripped him of his party whip in order to “appease the media”, adding:
“We are now worried what [Guardian commentator] Polly Toynbee might say
and that is a serious issue that Ukip are going to have again. The only
reason people come to UKIP is because we’re not like the others.”The independent MEP said he felt there
was “no future for me” in Ukip after the party chairman, Steve Crowther,
publicly criticised him for advocating “radical” policies.“Clearly there’s no future for me in the
party when the chairman, an ex-LibDem who believes he should have an
interest in policy and not count the paperclips which is what he was
employed to do, now feels he is entitled to criticise me when I talk
about radical or libertarian policies, it’s something I simply don’t
tolerate.”In his book, Bloom accused the UKIP
leadership of “throwing a noose over the nearest beam” as the furore
broke about his “sluts” remark, rather than “putting any number of
articulate women on [the media]“.Speaking to HuffPostUK, Bloom warned
that Nigel Farage was in danger of losing his “political touch” because
he has been too busy to spend time in the pub.“Nigel’s political touch was based on
the fact that he what people were thinking in the pub. He can’t do that
now because of the force majeure.”He said that he was still personally on
good terms with Farage, with whom he shares a flat in Brussels,
recounting an evening they spent getting “completely pissed” last week.“When was I out in Brussels? Wednesday? Thursday night? [Nigel and I] We got completely pissed in an Irish pub.In a joking reference to his quote that he wanted “women to clean behind the fridge”,
Bloom added: “The fridge is still dirty now because the lady hasn’t
been in to sort it out but we did what we always do, we drank a bucket
load of beer, and wine and talked about military history.”

With regard to the launch of Godfrey Bloom’s autoboreography which
was due for launch on the first evening of UKIP’s conference in a
Westminster pub but was, I am reliably informed, resheduled at Nigel
Farage’s demand as he feared it might over shadow his party conference
(How right has but for the wrong reasons!).
Some details of the launch of ‘A Guinea A Minute’ in the Barnes
Wallace pub in Yorkshire can be found you try Google but here is The
Spectator’s take on the event:

Take 2 for Godfrey Bloom’s book

Godfrey
Bloom has finally rescheduled his postponed book launch. The Ukip MEP,
who resigned after his unguarded comments at the party’s recent
conference, was due to launch his book A Guinea a Minute in
London, but the event was cancelled when the media scrum engulfed the
Ukip conference. Well, the invitations have gone out again. They state
very clearly that the event is ‘Guest List Only’ and that there will be
‘no pre-launch interviews’. Rather wisely, perhaps. And, as an added
precaution, the event will be held in Yorkshire. It seems that the old
boy doesn’t want us hacks to come!

Further to this, it's interesting what a little trawling around on google brings floating to the surface:
Although Godfrey Bloom states on his website that his secretary is his
wife's niece, he is rather less transparent about Vicarage Cottage,
Selby. Prior to her death last year, this was the address of his
mother-in-law! http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/900301174
Jane Collins does not have any obvious qualifications or experience for
her job as Godfrey's political agent and regional organiser, but she
does have some twenty years' friendship with Mrs Bloom that includes
being Katie's former yard manager and fellow celebrity in the hunting
field!http://www.selbytimes.co.uk/sport/en...-pair-1-563659http://www.accessmylibrary.com/artic...e-z-hunts.html
Eric Richards is on Godfrey's staff as an assistant. Coincidentally,
the think tank associated with the EAF, the European Foundation for
Freedom, also has a treasurer named Eric Richards.
During UKIP's PEP consultation last year the 'YES' campaign posted to
its website a memo from Godfrey Bloom re his having joined such a party,
and claiming that one of the benefits was, "We have initiated a
fabulous youth programme, details attached which is beyond anything on
offer from any other party. Two youngsters embark upon it on 1st
August". The young people were not named, nor is there any reference to
this training programme on the EAF website, but I see that UKIP has an
intern, Peter Massie, who works for them at the European parliament http://www.godfreybloommep.co.uk/news-january-2012.htmlhttp://www.fishfight.net/blog/fish-f...ing-in-europe/
Would Mr Massie be one of the trainees whose out of pocket expenses have
apparently been met for a two week diploma course at the Von Mises
Institute in Alabama? http://www.yesgiveukipthetools.com/7...Programme1.pdf
If so, I guess the other trainee enjoying the benefits of the Youth
Programme may have been his friend from Newcastle University, Richard
Skowronek? Both were photographed with Godfrey Bloom on his recent
lecture tour of America, where he gave a speech at the Mises Institute http://www.godfreybloommep.co.uk/ame...cturetour.html
Richard Skowronek is, of course, the brother of Bloom's secretary
Victoria, the nephew of Mrs Bloom, and the grandson of the lady who used
to live in the cottage which is the UK office of the European Alliance
for Freedom.

My thanks to Barbara Booker and Geoffrey Collier for the supply of this information, also to the many other UKIP members and non members who supply so much factual information as they wish to see UKIP cleaned up to make it ethically acceptable to vote for and fit for purpose or closed down, due to its undeniable endemic corruption and lack of ethics.

Godfrey Bloom was ejected from the European Parliament chambers in 2010 after heckling German MEP, Martin Schulz with the Nazi slogan: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer,” to German politician, Martin Schulz.

seems this idiot is living up to his name, and you know what happens, give him a little of his own punisment and see how he runs to his boyfriend or his mommy. he his not worth our time to let us shun him

kitty try to use search engines for the proof. there are lots of gay people in europe who live below poverty line thanks to widespread homophobia not only in societies but in public/government institutions. organisations like ILGA try to expose those instances of injustice and inequality that prevent gay people from having normal lives. if he cared enough to educate himself about the issue, than maybe he wouldn’t have to waste the parliament’s time that could could have been spent better by addressing the real issues that deal with poverty

So it seems that when an individual questions where taxpayer cash is going, people who preach equality ‘condemn’ him. I know that these same people who are all about equality, apart from when they disagree with something, then it’s probably racism, homophobia, xenophobia etc. There is a better way to spend this money given the financial trouble Europe is in, stating that doesn’t make someone a bad person.

During a debate about Europe at the Foreign Press Association – which was discreetly taped by the hosts – Farage was asked by former Europe minister Denis MacShane what he had received in non-salary expenses and allowances since becoming an MEP in 1999.

“It is a vast sum,” Farage said. “I don’t know what the total amount is but – oh lor – it must be pushing £2 million.” Taken aback, MacShane then joked: “Is it too late to become an MEP?”

Farage insisted that he had not “pocketed” the money but had used the “very large sum of European taxpayers’ money” to help promote Ukip’s message that the UK should get out of the EU.

When asked later by the Observer to justify how he could claim so much while running a campaign attacking Westminster MPs for their extravagance, Farage was unapologetic, saying that, while MEPs were “very expensive”, he was entirely happy that the money had been used for the best of causes.”

This is shameful of Godfrey Bloom, we all pay our taxes, etc and he should understand that the Gay Community should have a voice in the EU Parliament,. We are citizens of Europe too, and he should be standing up for those in Europe whom are still fighting for recognition of their Gay Rights too. Gay Rights are Human Rights, he seems to be a loose cannon in UKIP and Farage should reprimand him for his ‘homophobic’ comments.
